Iain,
The Timetable tool can do prototype timetable calculations.
Set the scale to 1 using the Custom scale selection, the fast clock speed to 1, and enter the distances in feet (or meters if metric is selected). A mile is 5280 feet.

Sorry, but there needs to be a bit of explanation before I ask my question....
I am fascinated by the operational aspects of railways. My layout is a minute "might have been" fraction of the North of Scotland. I have spent hours (probably days) compiling a timetable which fits my little bit into the general timetable for 1969 for the area. My timetable covers everything from Inverness northwards and links south. To validate a timetable you need a trains graph to ensure crossings (its a single line) occur properly. For me that has been a pencil and paper activity - until now. It's quite an art form.
It would be fun (well I think so!) to use the new Timtable system to input and maintain my whole timetable BUT of course none of it is "real" (in the sense of a model - most of it is real and still in place) and it's in miles (and chains - not a US measurement?) between stations and I don't need "scale" speeds I need real ones.
Is it likely to be possible? It would be a lot of work before it would be possible to test anything - so is there anyone out there who can give me any enouragement or say it won't work?
